Who Has the Worst NFL Record?
The NFL season is winding down, and we all know who the likely candidates are for the worst record in the league. But who has the worst NFL record right now?
The Cleveland Browns
The Browns have the worst record in the NFL
The Browns have the worst record in the NFL, as of the end of the 2017 season. They have only won one game in the past two seasons, and have not made the playoffs since 2002.
They have only won one game in the last two seasons
They have only won one game in the last two seasons, and that was against the New York Jets in 2016. The Browns have not had a winning season since 2007, and they have not made the playoffs since 2002. They are currently on a streak of 17 consecutive losses, which is the longest active streak in the NFL.
They have lost ten games in a row
The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division. The Browns play their home games at FirstEnergy Stadium, which opened in 1999, with administrative offices and training facilities in Berea, Ohio. The Browns’ official colors are brown, orange, and white. They are unique among the 32 member franchises of the NFL in that they do not have a helmet logo.
The franchise was founded in 1945 by businessman Arthur B. McBride and coach Paul Brown as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). The Browns dominated the AAFC, compiling a 47–4–3 record in the league’s four seasons and winning its championship in each of them. When the AAFC folded after the 1949 season, the Browns joined the NFL along with three other AAFC teams: the San Francisco 49ers, Akron Pros/Indians, and Baltimore Colts.
The team then went on to compile an abysmal record of 2–10 during their inaugural NFL season — this remains their worst ever season-long record to date. In fact, things have not improved much for them since; they currently have the second worst all-time record in NFL history with only one winning season out of their 62 total seasons played (as of 2017). 2017 marked their 62nd consecutive year without making it to even a single conference championship game — another unenviable NFL record they currently hold.
The San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers have the second worst record in the NFL
The San Francisco 49ers have the second worst record in the NFL, with only the Cleveland Browns having a worse record. The 49ers have only won two games this season, which is tied for the fewest in the NFL. They have lost ten games, which is also tied for the most in the NFL. The 49ers are currently in last place in the NFC West division.
The 49ers have struggled on both sides of the ball this season. They are ranked 28th in the NFL in points scored, and 23rd in points allowed. Their offense has been led by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who has thrown for 2,418 yards and eleven touchdowns. Their leading receiver has been tight end George Kittle, who has caught 51 passes for 741 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, their leading tackler has been linebacker Fred Warner, who has recorded 97 tackles.
The 49ers have had a lot of injuries this season, which has contributed to their struggles. Jimmy Garoppolo has missed eight games due to injury, and George Kittle has missed five games. Other key players who have missed time due to injury include running back Raheem Mostert, wide receiver Deebo Samuel, and defensive end Nick Bosa.
The 49ers will look to turn things around next season, but they will need to make some improvement if they want to compete for a playoff spot.
They have only won two games in the last two seasons
The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team located in the San Francisco Bay Area. They compete in the National Football League as a member of the league’s National Football Conference West division. The 49ers have only won two games in the last two seasons, and have the worst record in the NFL.
They have lost nine games in a row
The San Francisco 49ers are currently on a nine-game losing streak, which is the longest in the NFL. They have not won a game since Week 8 of the season, and their last victory was against the Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers have been plagued by injuries this season, and they have had to start multiple backups at various positions. Their offense has struggled to score points, and their defense has been unable to stop opposing teams from scoring. The 49ers are currently in last place in the NFC West with a record of 2-10.
The New York Jets
The Jets have the third worst record in the NFL
The New York Jets have the third worst record in the NFL, with a record of 1-7. They have lost their last seven games, and their only win came against the Buffalo Bills in week one. The Jets are currently on a bye week, and will next play the New England Patriots on November 25.
They have only won three games in the last two seasons
In 2019, the Jets won just seven games, missing the playoffs for the 10th consecutive season. It was their worst record since they went 4-12 in 2014. They followed that up with an even worse 2020 campaign, winning just two games. As a result, they currently have the worst record in the NFL over the last two seasons.
They have lost eight games in a row
The New York Jets are a professional American football team based in the New York metropolitan area. The Jets compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team is headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey. In a stunning turn of events, the Jets have lost eight games in a row and now have the worst record in the NFL.
